New CGEM Motor Control Firmware UPDATE

[MarsG76]

Hello Astro Guys & Gals...

For those who use CGEM eq mounts and missed the functionality of PEC in version 6.50 of the MC firmware that fixed the DEC motor cogging issue, I have good news...

I have contacted Celestron asking about a fix and this was their reply:

===========================

Thank you for contacting Celestron.

The latest version is 6.50 and there is no new update. Our firmware engineer is currently working on an update and it might be ready by this Friday.

===========================

 

So keep an eye out for the update, hopefully will be available soon...

Well this is disappointing, a month later and... waiting waitng waiting, and Celestron lied... There is still no firmware update for the CGEM, so much to looking forward to using PEC.

Have you tried Team Celestron site, they have beta firmware, worth a look ?

Edit, just looked, there is a 6.51 ...

You have to register to see betas but it's free, 

Don't forget... They are beta so you are testing for Celestron !

Good luck.

As a add on how do you see what firmware you're on ..on my AVX it was fairly straightforward..press a couple of buttons at the same time..im just looking into doing mine but seems like it's not as straightforward to find the info..
